Sempiternus

The tale of a Roman vampire.

Through the obscure darkness of the night I roam,
Upon the soil of the mortals and the underground,
Amidst the world of the living and dead at the gloam,
Where I drink the blood of those who I soon spellbound. 
I was once the faithful servant and legionaire of Rome,
Who fought from the lands of Germania to Macedonia,  
Born in the countryside of Hispania that was my home,
And I became the cruel slayer of Britannia and Caledonia.
Caesar, Augustus, Nero, knew my name as well as Hadrian,
For I command'd the legions of the sea and the earth then,
As the brash vilifiers of Rome fear'd the armies of Trajan,
Whence, I led to absolute victory tenfold a thousand men.
Thus, I am an immortal accurst nam'd Faustus Antoninus.
The hideous vampire who my enemies call, Sempiternus.
